Welcome to Gaia! ::

98-99. You decide to take a moment's break in your searching. You have your dragon land on a small island. As you search, you come across what looks to be signs of a wreck. There's some lumbar, some clothing, some shoes and boots.... Could this be the Southern Star? Better report it to your superiors. If nothing else, someone or something crashed here... Maybe hunt for survivors?

Roll a D4 to see what happens!
-- 1. You find nothing. If there was anyone on the island, they're long gone now.
-- 2. Not far in you trip over a rock, only to find that it's actually a skull! Doing a little digging, you find that this island is littered with bones of various types. This remote island clearly is the dumping grounds for someone, and you'd sure better inform your Wingleader and/or the local Lord Holder!
--3. You hear a snarl, a growl and.... You find yourself under attack by wild whers! They have a nest nearby that you stumbled over and now you're about ready to get maimed! Whether or not you're injured or wounded is up to you--but you are able to get away! It's back to the Weyr for you to get your wounds looked at, and to avoid that island at all costs!
--4. You find a trail. Some boots, a few tunics, some pants... and oh Faranth, you stumble upon a few riders, and some local Hold folk uh.... having quite the good time on the beach. Oh, this isn't awkward at all! So much nudity, oh Faranth, how do they twist like that!? Your poor eyes are blinded by the vision of debauchery. The riders appear to be either from other Weyrs or from Zanoma Camp and White Cliff Weyrhold. Run away! ... or join in?

If you join in, your Wingleader is going to find out. <<

If you roll a 4, quote Uta or Mr Cheri and earn a dragon prize! [This can be obtained up to 3 times!]

[31-35. You see a few ships on the water. Upon your approach, you're informed that none of the ships are the one you seek. It's up to you whether you choose to fly past or approach. If you approach, roll a D4 to see what happens:
--1. Those on the ships seem friendly enough. You find out it's a passenger ship on their way to port. They wave at you as you fly by, and cheer. They're certainly a friendly lot. You have your dragon land and paddle closer, or hover near by (depending on the size of it) and ask whether or not they've seen anything suspicious. Unfortunately, the haven't. After shooting the breeze for a bit, you decide its time to move on.
--2. Those on the ships seem aloof. They watch as you circle, and it's clear these are not passenger ships, or local ships. In fact, you realize you've found nothing but a band of (likely) pirates, despite them hailing Rivercrest colors. They don't welcome you, but they aren't hostile, either. You note their location, and send coordinates back to your Wingleader just so they are aware.
--3. This is simply a fishing vessel. They haven't seen anything, unfortunately, but do talk up all the good fish they've found.
--4. Oh Faranth. The ships are not friendly. The Captain is actually quite a known pirate that's wanted in several Holds. She wears the sign of an Exile, and her crew look like they wouldn't hesitate downing a rider. Thankfully, you're not alone in your sweeps. When asked about a ship, the Captain claims they've not seen such a vessel. You're not sure you believe her. That said, she she does ask you to send her regards to Hestina...and you can't tell if such a greeting is meant as a genuine salutation or some sort of unspoken threat.

56-60. You actually manage to find a fishing boat that saw the Southern Star - about two months ago on a very different voyage. Shaffit, just when you started getting your hopes up! Still, the fish is pretty good.

86-90: Nothing but a lot of water... Bah.
